Tour de Big Bear/HC Gran Fondo

Tour de Big Bear/HC Gran Fondo
Held in the high country of Southern California’s San Bernardino Mountains, road cyclists of all levels escape the summer heat and cruise alpine roadways and trails, over high mountain passes like Onyx Summit (elevation of 8,443 feet), and around Big Bear and Baldwin Lakes. With scenic and challenging high altitude rides, professional style racing venue and a weeklong Cycling Festival, it’s no wonder Big Bear Lake is known as the “Cycling Capital of Southern California.”
